COST  OF  PRODUCTION  OF  CERTAIN  ARTICLES. 


Department  of  Labor, 
Washington,  I).  C,  December  7,  1898. 
Sir:  I  have  the  liouor  to  submit  herewith  a  report  upon  the  total 
cost  and  labor  cost  of  producing  certain  articles  in  the  leading  branches 
of  industry  in  the  United  States.  Great  Britain,  and  Belgium. 

This  report  has  been   prepared   in  compliance  with   the  following* 
resolution  of  the  Senate: 

In  the  Senate  of  the  United  States, 

June  26,  1897. 
Resolved,  That  the  Commissioner  of  Labor  be,  and  is  bereby,  directed  to  collect 
from  official  sources,  or  otherwise  if  necessary,  information  relating  to  total  cost 
and  labor  cost  of  production  iu  fifteen  of  the  leading  industries  common  to  this 
country,  Great  Britain,  France,  Belgium,  and  Germany  and  report  the  results  of  his 
inquiries  to  the  Senate  as  soon  alter  the  meeting  of  the  second  session  of  the  Fifty- 
fifth  Congress  as  possible:  Provided,  That  the  inquiries  hereby  authorized  shall  be 
carried  on  under  the  regular  appropriations  made  for  the  Department  of  Labor. 

Wm.  R.  Cox,  Secretary. 

Examination  having  shown  that  the  information  called  for  by  this 
resolution  could  not  be  obtained  from  official  reports,  it  became  neces- 
sary to  secure  it  directly  from  the  manufacturers,  and  experts  from  the 
Department  were  therefore  detailed  for  this  purpose.     The  provision 
-,   that  the  investigation  should  be  carried  on  under  the  regular  appro- 
a  priations  for  the  Department  has  necessarily  limited  the  scope  of  the 
s  inquiry  to  some  extent.     The  great  expense  and  difficulty  of  finding 
!    manufacturers  in  foreign  countries  able  and  willing  to  give  the  inforina- 
\tion   sought  thus  made  it  necessary  to  restrict  the  investigation  as 
regards  European  data  to  the  two  countries  of  Great  Britain  and  Bel- 
gium.    These  two  countries,  however,  are  thoroughly  representative  as 
showing  Old  World  conditions,  and  the  information  obtained  in  regard 
to  the  cost  of  production  .there,  taken  in  connection  with  the  data  for 
the   United    States,   it  is  believed,   furnishes   material    substantially 
k    corresponding  to  that  called  for  by  the  resolution. 

This  material  is  presented  in  the  form  of  44<>  separate  statements  of 
^he  cost  of  producing  certain  articles  representative  of  the  products  of 
the  great  industries  of  agricultural  implements,  boots  and  shoes,  brick, 
^  men's  clothing,  cotton  goods,  cutlery,  furniture,  glass,  men's  hats,  iron  and 
steel,  leather,  pottery  products,  and  woolen  goods.     In  the  selection  of 
the  units  for  investigation,  the  effort  was  made  to  make  a  choice  of  those 
which  were  as  simple  in  construction  as  possible,  both  because  it  is 
practically  impossible  to  secure  accurate  information  concerning  more 
complicated  articles,  and  because,  if  obtained,  in   but  rare  instances 
could  the  products  of  different  establishments  or  countries  be  compared. 
In  making  use  of  the  information  here  presented  it  is  important  to 
understand  the  exact  significance  of  the  terms  "cost  of  production" 
and  "labor  cost  of  production"  as  here  employed,  as  both  are  expres- 
sions which  are  often  used  to  relate  to  quite  different  statements  of 
facts.     In  the  present  report  by  total  cost,  or  cost  of  production,  is 

3 

f&1& 


4  COST    OF    PRODUCTION    OF    CERTAIN    ARTICLES. 

meant  the  total  expenditure  necessary  for  the  production  of  the  articles 
considered,  or,  in  other  words,  that  amount  at  which,  if  the  articles 
were  sold,  neither  a  profit  nor  loss  to  the  manufacturer  would  result. 
By  cost  of  labor  is  meant  that  part  of  this  total  amount  which  is 
expended  directly  for  labor  in  the  establishments  making  the  articles 
considered  in  transforming  the  materials  into  the  finished  products. 
li  thus  does  not  include  the  labor  expended  in  the  previous  production 
of  these  materials. 

An  examination  of  the  data  furnished  by  different  establishments  iu 
the  I 'idled  States,  as  well  as  in  Great  Britain  and  Belgium,  occasion- 
ally shows  striking  and  apparently  inexplicable  differences  in  the  labor 
costs  and  total  cost  of  producing  articles  appearing  from  their  descrip- 
tion to  be  substantially  alike.  In  some  cases  the  divergence  is  such  as 
to  suggest  that  inaccurate  figures  were  given  by  the  manufacturers. 
This,  however,  is  not  believed  to  be  the  case.  Differences  as  great  as 
those  shown  in  this  report  undoubtedly  exist  both  in  the  total  cost  of 
producing  the  articles  considered,  and  particularly  in  respect  to  the 
relative  proportion  going  for  labor. 

Theoretically,  the  establishments  producing  the  cheapest  will  drive 
other  establishments  out  of  the  business.  Practically,  however,  this 
is  true  only  as  a  general  statement,  and  mills  producing  at  widely  dif- 
ferent costs  are  found  in  operation  in  almost  all  industries.  Moreover, 
when  not  merely  the  whole  product  of  establishments,  but  particular 
articles  are  considered,  it  is  evident  that  the  possibilities  for  these  dif- 
ferences in  costs  become  still  greater.  There  is  a  great  difference  in 
various  establishments  in  respect  both  to  their  equipment  and  the  effi- 
ciency with  which  they  are  managed.  One  establishment  may  be  com- 
pletely supplied  with  the  latest  improved  labor  saving  machinery  and 
be  so  arranged  as  to  secure  the  handling  of  materials  and  their  conver- 
sion into  finished  products  with  the  least  possible  expenditure  for  labor, 
while  another  establishment  producing  the  same  line  of  goods  may  use 
old  machinery,  and  its  efficiency  as  regards  its  ability  to  produce  cheaply 
be  far  inferior  to  that  of  the  former. 

Again,  the  general  expenses  may  be  much  greater  in  one  establish- 
ment than  in  another,  owing  to  lax  management,  the  employment  of  a 
large  number  of  administrative  officers,  the  payment  of  high  salaries 
to  officials,  etc.  Other  determining  factors  are  the  opportunity  or  skill 
possessed  in  buying  the  raw  materials  used  at  an  advantageous  rate,  the 
success  with  which  the  fluctuations  in  the  prices  of  these  materials  are 
foreseen,  and  the  wages  paid  to  employees  and  their  relative  efficiency. 

It  is  unnecessary  to  carry  this  discussion  of  the  elements  determin- 
ing cost  further,  it  only  remains  to  mention  that  special  care  should 
be  used  in  determining  whether  the  articles  compared  are  iu  reality 
identical.  In  many  cases  no  amount  of  description  will  insure  that  the 
articles  are  alike  in  all  particulars.  The  raw  materials,  though  desig- 
nated the  same,  may  be  of  different  qualities,  the  workmanship  may 
vary,  and,  finally,  there  may  be  quite  a  difference  as  regards  the  item  of 
finish,  discoverable  only  after  a  personal  examination  by  experts.  The 
more  complicated  the  article,  the  greater  the  opportunity  for  variation 
in  these  respects.  It  is  for  this  reason  that  every  effort  was  made  to 
secure  information  for  simple  units. 

As  regards  the  important  point  of  the  proportion  of  the  total  cost 
ascribable  to  labor,  it  is  also  apparent  that  great  possibilities  for  differ- 
ences exist.  Here  the  most  important  determining  factors  are  not 
only  the  rates  of  wages  paid  and  the  efficiency  of  the  employees,  but  the 
character  of  the  equipment  which  has  just  been  considered.    The  choice 


COST    OF    PRODUCTION    OF    CERTAIN    ARTICLES.  O 

between  the  production  of  an  article  largely  by  manual  labor,  or  by  the 
use  of  machinery,  the  introduction  of  which  requires  the  expenditure 
of  a  large  sum  of  money,  is  often  a  difficult  one.  One  manufacturer 
may  decide  upon  the  former  method  of  production  and  another  upon 
the  latter,  with  the  result  that,  though  the  total  cost  of  production  in 
the  two  may  be  nearly  the  same,  the  proportion  of  the  cost  going  for 
labor  will  be  widely  different. 

Chief  interest  in  the  present  investigation  attaches  to  the  opportunity 
afforded  of  making  comparisons  between  the  conditions  in  this  country 
and  in  Great  Britain  and  Belgium  as  regards  the  total  cost  of  produc- 
tion and  the  part  for  which  the  remuneration  of  labor  is  responsible. 
The  problem  of  securing  comparable  units — that  is,  of  finding  estab- 
lishments in  the  different  countries  making  exactly  the  same  articles — 
has  been  a  difficult  one,  and  complete  success  has  not  always  been 
obtained.  In  practically  all  cases,  however,  information  concerning 
substantially  similar  articles  was  secured,  and  au  opportunity  is  there- 
fore afforded  of  making  a  general  comparison  of  the  cost  of  production 
of  the  articles  considered  in  the  different  countries.  It  is  of  course  to 
be  understood  that,  owing  to  the  wide  range  of  costs  existing  withui 
each  country  as  regards  many  articles,  it  is  impossible,  no  matter  how 
elaborate  an  investigation  may  be  made,  to  give  any  one  figure  as  rep- 
resenting the  cost  of  production  in  a  particular  country.  The  informa- 
tion here  given,  therefore,  must  be  considered  only  as  showing  the 
conditions  obtaining  in  representative  establishments.  At  the  same 
time  it  is  believed  that  the  figures  here  given  do  represent  in  this  gen- 
eral way  the  conditions  as  they  exist  in  the  countries  considered  as 
regards  the  total  cost  of  production,  and  the  proportion  of  this  total 
going  for  labor. 

With  these  explanations,  a  brief  analysis  of  the  data  collected  is  now 
entered  upon,  in  which  the  effort  is  made  to  indicate  those  units  in  the 
United  States,  Great  Britain,  and  Belgium,  which  are  the  most  similar, 
and  for  which  a  comparison  can  therefore  be  the  more  legitimately 
made. 

Agricultural  implements.  —  Taking  up  the  various  articles  for  which 
costs  are  given  in  the  order  of  their  presentation,  it  will  be  seen  that 
quotations  of  costs  obtained  for  planters'  eye  hoes  in  Great  Britain, 
units  Nos.  12  and  13,  correspond  almost  exactly  in  description  with 
units  Nos.  4  and  5  for  the  United  States.  In  the  United  States,  the 
total  cost  of  producing  one  dozen  hoes  of  the  character  described  was 
$1.91  and  $1.96,  of  which  the  labor  cost  in  transforming  the  materials 
was  $0.01  and  $0.03,  respectively.  Similar  returns  for  the  Great 
Britain  units  were:  Total  cost,  $2.27  and  $2.31;  labor  cost  in  trans- 
forming the  materials,  $0.89  and  $0.91,  respectively. 

For  spades,  the  second  article  under  agricultural  implements,  infor- 
mation concerning  products  of  practically  identical  descriptions  in  the 
United  States,  Belgium,  and  Great  Britain  was  obtained  in  units  Nos. 
23,  24,  25,  27,  and  28.  The  first  three  units  are  for  the  United  States, 
and  refer  to  the  same  spade,  with  the  exception  that  different  kinds  of 
steel  and  qualities  of  handles  were  used  in  their  manufacture.  The 
total  cost  of  producing  one  dozen  of  these  spades  was  $5.50,  $5.07,  and 
$4.57,  respectively.  The  labor  cost  in  transforming  the  materials  was 
in  all  three  cases  the  same,  $0.70,  or  12.73,  L3.81,  and  15.32  per  cent  of 
the  total  cost.  In  Belgium,  unit  No.  27,  the  total  cost  was  $4.35,  of 
which  the  labor  cost  in  transforming  the  materials  was  $1.27,  or  29.20 
percent;  and  in  (heat  Britain,  unit  No.  28,  $4.50,  of  which  the  labor 
cost  in  transforming  the  materials  was  $1.70,  or  37.78  per  cent. 


b  COST    OF    PRODIXTION    OF    CERTAIN    ARTICLES. 

Boots  and  shoes. — In  boots  aiid  shoes,  the  product  is  one  giving  room 
for  great  differences  as  regards  workmanship  and  finish,  and  it  was 
necessary,  therefore,  to  secure  information  lor  a  large  number  of  units. 
The  fact  that  American  machinery  is  largely  used  in  this  industry  in 
both  Great  Britain  and  Belgium  insures  that  the  process  of  manufac- 
ture can  not  be  greatly  different  in  the  three  countries,  and  thus  pre- 
supposes a  favorable  basis  tor  a  comparison  of  conditions. 

Selecting  from  among  the  numerous  units  those  most  nearly  corre- 
sponding in  description,  the  following  ((notations  may  be  placed  in 
comparison:  Unit  No.  0'.>,  Belgium,  with  units  Nos.  56,  57,  58,  and  59, 
representing  the  products  of  one  establishment,  and  Nos.  63,  (54,  and 
65,  representing  the  products  of  a  second  establishment  in  the  United 
States.  The  character  of  the  unit  here  considered  is  that  of  cheap 
pegged  workingmen's  shoes.  The  total  cost  of  producing  one  dozen 
pairs  of  shoes,  as  here  reported,  was  $10.81  in  Belgium,  $11.58,  $11.22, 
$10.50,  and  $10.20  in  the  first  establishment  in  the  United  States,  and 
$10.50,  $9.90,  and  $9.18  in  the  second.  The  different  returns  for  the 
same  establishment  represent  different  costs  according  as  different 
qualities  of  materials  were  employed.  The  labor  cost  in  transforming 
the  materials  in  Belgium  was  $2.70,  or  24.98  per  cent  of  the  total  cost, 
a  figure  both  absolutely  and  relatively  higher  than  that  for  any  of  the 
United  States  units. 

Other  comparisons  are  those  of  the  Great  Britain  unit  No.  70  with 
units  No.  43,  47,  and  52  for  the  United  States;  Great  Britian  unit  No. 
71  with  the  United  States  units  Nos.  29,  38,  39,  40,  45,  and  54;  and 
Great  Britain  unit  No.  72  with  United  States  units  Nos.  30,  41,  and  42. 
A  considerable  variation  in  the  costs  of  production,  which  can  be  seen 
by  reference  to  the  detailed  statements,  is  here  seen.  This  is  due  to 
the  fact  that  the  information  relates  to  shoes  of  a  higher  grade,  and 
there  is  therefore  greater  opportunity  for  differences  in  the  quality  of 
the  material  and  workmanship  employed  which  can  not  be  shown  by  a 
technical  discription. 

In  the  case  of  ladies'  shoes,  those  units  having  the  most  similar 
descriptions  are  the  Belgian  unit  No.  90,  the  Great  Britain  unit  No.  93, 
and  the  United  States  units  Nos.  83,  84,  and  85;  and  the  Great  Britain 
units  Nos.  91  and  92,  and  the  United  States  units  Nos.  73  and  82. 

Bricli. — The  fact  that  the  sizes  of  brick  ordinarily  used  in  the  differ- 
ent countries  vary  makes  any  absolute  Comparisons  of  costs  difficult. 
Considering  those  sizes  which  are  the  nearest  alike,  however,  as  units 
Nos.  99  and  100  for  Belgium,  and  Nos.  95,  90,  and  97  for  the  United 
States;  and  Nos.  101  and  102  for  Great  Britain  and  No.  98  for  the 
United  States,  the  figures  would  seem  to  indicate  a  considerably  lower 
cost  in  Belgium  than  in  the  United  States,  or  $1.3  J  and  $1.40  per  1,000 
brick  against  $4.95,  $5.10,  and  $5;  while  the  costs  in  Great  Britain 
approximated  those  in  the  United  States,  or  $3.77  and  $4.87  per  1,000 
brick  against  $4.35  in  the  United  States. 

A  general  examination  of  all  of  the  units  shows  that  the  proportion  of 
the  total  cost  ascribable  to  labor  for  the  most  part  varies  between  the 
limits  of  40  and  00  per  cent. 

Men's  clothing. — Data  in  regard  to  men's  clothing  were  obtained  with 
exceptional  completeness.  The  great  variation  in  the  quality  of  the 
materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  clothing  and  the  character  of  the 
workmanship  employed  render  it  impossible  to  select  particular  units 
for  comparison.  The  general  range  of  costs  and  the  proportion  going 
for  labor  can  be  seen  by  examining  the  75  units  concerning  which 
information  was  obtained. 


COST    OF    PRODUCTION    OF    CERTAIN    ARTICLES.  7 

Cotton  goods. — In  the  industry  of  cotton  goods,  information  was 
obtained  concerning  tbe  costs  of  various  kinds  of  standard  cloths. 
Here,  too,  the  nature  of  the  units  is  such  as  to  make  it  extremely  diffi- 
cult to  secure  comparable  units.  The  instance  in  which  success  was 
more  nearly  secured  is  that  of  unit  No.  194  for  the  United  States  and 
unit  No.  198  for  Great  Britain.  The  cost  of  producing  one  yard  of  the 
cloth  described,  in  the  United  States,  was  $ 0.0348,  of  which  $0.0108  was 
for  labor  in  transforming  the  materials,  and  in  Great  Britain  $0.0397, 
of  which  $0.(!ll9  was  for  labor  in  transforming  the  materials.  The 
relative  importance  of  the  item  of  labor  cost  in  the  two  countries  was 
therefore  nearly  the  same,  being  31.03  per  cent  in  the  United  States, 
and  29.97  per  cent  in  Great  Britain. 

A  fairly  approximate  similarity  as  regards  description  also  exists  in 
the  case  of  the  Great  Britain  unit  No.  19'J  and  the  United  States  unit 
No.  180,  the  number  of  picks  per  inch  being  the  same,  70x76,  in  both 
cases,  and  the  number  of  yarn  being  30  and  38  in  the  case  of  the  Great 
Britain  unit,  and  28  and  40  in  that  of  the  United  States.  The  total 
cost  of  producing  one  yard  of  this  cloth  in  the  United  States  was 
$0.0385,  of  which  $0.0129  was  for  labor  in  transforming  the  materials, 
and  in  Great  Britain  $0.0308,  of  which  $0,013  was  for  labor  in  trans- 
forming the  materials.  The  greater  cost  in  the  United  States  is  offset 
by  the  fact  that  the  cloth  in  the  case  of  the  United  States  unit  was  39 
inches  wide,  while  that  for  the  Great  Britain  unit  was  but  36  inches. 

Cutlery. — In  the  cutlery  industry  units  were  obtained  for  pocket- 
knives,  table  knives,  and  table  knife  blades.  As  there  is  greater  oppor- 
tunity in  pocketknives  for  differences  as  regards  workmanship  and 
finish  that  can  not  be  brought  out  by  a  verbal  description,  the  best  units 
for  comparison  are  the  simpler  articles  of  table  knives  and  table-knife 
blades.  Units  Nos.  242  to  249  represent  data  from  four  firms  in  the 
United  States,  and  show  the  cost  of  manufacture  of  one  dozen  ivory- 
handled  table  knives  of  medium  size  to  be  $6.11,  $5.55,  and  $4.96  in  the 
first  establishment;  $6.04  in  the  second;  $5.51,  $4.73,  and  $2.94  in  the 
third,  and  $8.12  in  the  fourth  establishment.  The  different  quotations  of 
cost  in  the  same  establishment  are  due  chiefly  to  the  different  grades  of 
ivory  used,  as  shown  in  the  descriptions  of  the  units.  In  contrast  with 
these,  units  Nos.  2D9  and  270  show  the  cost  of  producing  very  similar 
articles  in  Great  Britain  to  be  $4.50  and  $4.50,  according  to  whether 
the  blades  were  machine  or  hand  made.  Of  this  the  labor  cost  in  trans- 
forming,the  materials  was  $0.85  and  $0.91,  respectively.  In  the  United 
States  the  labor  cost  in  transforming  the  materials  was  $2,035,  $1.30, 
$1.35,  and  $0.94  in  the  different  establishments,  respectively. 

Probably  the  best  basis  for  comparison,  however,  is  to  eliminate  the 
item  of  the  handle  and  consider  the  cost  of  making  the  blade  alone. 
This  is  done  in  units  Nos.  271  to  282  representing  the  United  States; 
No.  283,  Belgium,  and  Nos.  284  and  285,  Great  Britain.  The  last  four 
units  for  the  United  States  represent  blades  of  the  most  ordinary 
quality  intended  for  fitting  into  redwood  handles,  and  therefore  arc  not 
suitable  for  comparison  with  the  Belgian  and  Great  Britain  products. 
The  other  units,  however,  represent  blades  closely  approximating  in 
character  the  Belgian  and  Great  Britain  units.  The  total  cost  of  pro- 
ducing one  dozen  blades  as  described  is  shown  by  these  units  to  be,  in 
the  United  States,  $0,875,  $0.94,  $1.28,  $1.18,  $1.00,  $0.70,  $0.84,  and 
$0.80,  respectively;  in  Belgium  $0.4825,  and  in  Great  Britain  $0.8510 
and  $0.9125  according  to  whether  they  were  machine  or  hand  made. 
The  labor  cost  in  transforming  the  materials  was,  in  the  United  Slates, 
$0.70,  $0.62,  $1.02,  $0.63,  $0.55,  $0.48,  $0.60,  and  $0.57,  respectively;  in 
Belgium  $0,380,  and  in  Great  Britain  $0.4401  and  $0,507. 


8  COST    OF    PRODUCTION    OF    CERTAIN    ARTICLES. 

Furniture. — In  furniture  units  were  secured  for  plain  tables,  dining 
tables,  and  bent-wood  chairs.  In  regard  to  the  tirst  two  articles  a 
comparison  of  the  Great  Britain  units,  Nos.  290  and  294,  with  the 
units  for  the  United  States,  Nos.  280  to  2S9  and  291  to  293,  shows  the 
cost  of  production  to  be  materially  less  in  the  United  States  than  in 
Great  Britain.  This  smaller  cost  is  found  in  both  labor  and  other 
items.  The  cost  of  producing  a  plain  oak  table  42x42  inches  in  Great 
Britain  was  $3.07,  as  against  $1.00  for  a  similar  but  somewhat  smaller 
table,  24x42  inches  in  the  United  States,  $1.72  for  one  32x40  inches 
and  $1.04  for  a  third  30x40  inches.  The  cost  of  the  labor  in  trans- 
forming the  materials  was  in  the  case  of  the  Great  Britain  unit  $1.14, 
and  for  the  United  States  units  $0.70,  $0.03,  and  $0.49,  respectively. 
In  the  case  of  dining  tables  the  total  cost  was  $6.67  in  Great  Britain, 
and  for  a  similarly  described  table  in  the  United  States  $3.99  in  one 
case,  $2.14  in  a  second,  and  $2.03  in  a  third. 

As  regards  bent- wood  chairs  without  arms,  the  cost  of  producing 
one  dozen  in  Belgium  was  reported,  unit  No.  299,  as  $9.20,  and  in  the 
United  States,  unit  No.  290,  as  $8.54. 

Glass. — In  glass  information  concerning  the  cost  of  production  of 
practically  identical  units  in  the  United  States  and  Great  Britain  was 
secured  in  the  case  of  green  glass  pickle  and  green-glass  spirit  bottles. 
As  regards  the  tirst  article,  unit  No.  304  shows  the  cost  of  producing 
one  gross  of  bottles  in  Great  Britain  to  have  been  $2.49,  of  which  $1.03 
was  for  labor  in  transforming  the  materials.  Returns  from  four  firms 
in  the  United  States  for  the  same  article,  units  Nos.  300  to  303,  showed 
the  total  cost  to  have  been  $3.93,  $2.97,  $3.04,  and  $3.13,  respectively, 
in  which  the  cost  of  labor  in  transforming  the  materials  figured  for 
$1.03,  $1,005,  $1.00,  and  $1.88. 

For  green-glass  spirit  bottles  the  cost  in  Great  Britain  of  one  gross, 
unit  No.  308,  was  $3.06,  of  which  $1.15  was  for  labor  in  transforming 
the  materials,  while  units  Nos.  305,  300,  and  307  give  the  total  cost  in 
the  United  States  as  $5.40,  $4.13,  and  $3.75,  of  which  $1.97,  $1.88,  and 
$2.20  was  for  labor  in  transforming  the  materials. 

Men's  hats. — Owing  to  the  variety  of  styles  and  qualities  of  men's  hats, 
a-'  medium"  hat  representative  of  each  of  the  main  classes  of  hats  fur- 
nishes the  best  basis  of  comparison  that  can  be  obtained.  This  is  due 
to  the  fact  that  the  products  of  different  establishments  may  describe 
the  same  and  yet  differ  materially  as  regards  the  quality  of  material 
used  or  care  with  which  they  are  finished. 

For  stiff,  or  derby,  fur  hats,  units  Nos.  317,  318,  and  319,  representing 
the  cost  of  manufacture  of  cheap,  medium,  and  fine  grades  of  hats  in 
Belgium,  and  units  Nos.  320  and  321,  representing  the  cost  of  medium 
and  cheap  grades  of  hats  in  Great  Britain,  may  be  placed  in  comparison 
with  units  Nos.  309  to  310  for  the  United  States,  care  being  taken  to 
compare  the  same  grades  of  hats  in  each  case.  The  cost  of  the  medium 
grade  of  hats  in  Belgium  is  given  as  $11.58  per  dozen,  of  which  $3,474 
was  for  labor  in  transforming  the  materials;  in  Great  Britain  as  from 
$8.52  to  $9.73,  of  which  from  $2.92  to  $3.24  was  for  labor  in  transform- 
ing the  materials;  and  in  the  United  States,  in  different  establishments 
as  $13.50,  $14.75,  and  $11.22,  of  which  $0.77,  $8.2.1,  and  $G.03,  respec- 
tively, was  for  labor  in  transforming  the  materials. 

In  like  manner  a  somewhat  similar  comparison  can  be  made  as 
regards  the  cost  of  soft  fur,  soft  woolrand  flexible  wool  hats  in  the 
United  States  and  in  one  or  both  of  the  foreign  countries  considered. 
It  is,  of  course,  understood  that  the  average  hat  of  one  establishment 
may  not  be  exactly  the  same  as  the  average  hat  of  another,  and  that 


COST    OF    PRODUCTION    OF    CERTAIN    ARTICLES.  9 

the  figures  liere  given  can  only  be  considered  as  showing  the  general 
conditions  as  regards  cost  sin  the  different  establishments.  It  is  believed, 
however,  that  the  showing  made  is  typical  of  conditions  as  they  actually 
exist. 

Iron  and  .steel. — Information  concerning  the  cost  of  representative 
products  in  the  iron  and  steel  industry  was  obtained  for  Great  Britain 
and  the  United  States  only.  The  articles  for  which  a  comparison  as 
regards  their  cost  of  production  in  the  two  countries  can  be  made  are 
cast-iron  pipe,  pig  iron,  and  steel  rails.  Unit  No.  347  shows  the  aver- 
age cost  of  producing  various  sizes  of  cast  iron  pipe  in  Great  Britain  to 
have  been  $21.29  per  ton,  of  which  $7.30  was  for  labor  in  transforming 
the  materials.  Units  Nos.  344,  345,  and  346  show  the  cost  of  producing 
an  average  size  pipe,  of  6,  4,  and  3  inches  in  diameter,  respectively,  in 
the  United  States  to  have  been  $18.17,  610.17,  and  $20.17,  respectively, 
of  whieh  $4.22,  $5.22,  and  $6.22  was  for  labor  in  transforming  the 
materials. 

The  cost  of  producing  different  kinds  of  pig  iron  in  the  United  States 
is  given,  in  units  Hos.  348  to  355,  as  $0.60,  $9.60,  $10,  $10.20,  $9.21, 
$9.75,  $8.87,  $8.39,  and  $10.66,  and  in  Great  Britain,  in  units  Nos.  357 
and  358,  as  $9.73  and  $12.04.  In  the  United  States  the  labor  cost  in 
transforming  the  materials  was  $0.60,  $1.18,  $0.80,  $0.(50,  $0.73,  $1, 
$0.60,  $1.28,  and  $1.23,  and  in  Great  Britain  $0.73  and  30.19. 

As  regards  steel  rails,  the  cost  of  producing  1  ton  of  this  product 
was  reported  by  two  firms  in  Great  Britain,  units  Nos.  361  and  362,  to 
be  $23.83  and  $19.47,  respectively,  and  by  one  firm  in  the  United  States, 
unit  No.  359,  as  $18.  It  should  be  stated  that  the  data  for  unit  No.  361 
represents  an  average  for  the  five  years  1890  to  1894,  which  probably 
accounts  for  its  cost  being  shown  as  considerably  greater  than  that 
given  by  the  other  Great  Britain  unit.  In  these  two  units  the  labor 
cost  in  transforming  the  materials  is  given  as  $3.67  and  $1.95,  and  in 
the  case  of  the  United  States  unit  as  $2.70. 

Leather. — The  information  for  leather,  particularly  as  regards  those 
products  other  than  sole  leather,  in  Great  Britain  and  Belgium  was  not 
obtained  yi  a  very  satisfactory  shape.  The  only  comparison  between 
conditions  in  the  different  countries  that  is  feasible  is,  therefore,  that 
of  the  tanning  of  sole  leather  from  rawhide.  Unit  No.  364  gives  the 
cost  of  tanning  1  hide,  producing  an  average  of  36  pounds  of  finished 
leather,  in  the  United  States  as  $10. 14,  of  which  $0.73  was  for  labor. 
Unit  No.  36S  gives  the  cost  of  tanning  a  hide,  producing  the  same 
amount  of  finished  sole  leather,  in  Great  Britain  as  $9.71,  of  which  $1 
was  for  labor.  The  Belgian  unit  No.  367,  while  not  stating  the 
amount  of  leather  produced,  gives  the  cost  of  tanning  1  hide  at  from 
$7.14  to  $10.71,  of  which  from  $0.42  to  $0.50  was  for  labor.  Reference 
can  be  made  to  units  Nos.  363,  365,  and  306  as  showing  the  cost  of  pro- 
ducing sole  leather  in  other  establishments  in  the  United  States. 

Pottery  products. — As  representative  products  of  the  pottery  industry 
information  was  obtained  concerning  the  cost  of  producing  ironstone 
china  plates  of  different  sizes  and  cups  and  saucers  of  the  same  mate- 
rial. As  regards  the  figures  of  costs  here  given  it  should  be  stated 
that  the  manufacturers  giving  them  said  that,  owing  to  the  large 
variety  of  products  manufactured  at  the  same  time,  it  was  impossible 
to  state  accurately  the  cost  of  particular  articles.  The  figures  given, 
though  based  in  each  case  upon  a  careful  calculation,  can  not,  therefore, 
be  considered  as  other  than  estimates.  The  fact  that  there  is  shown  a 
wide  divergence  between  the  estimates  of  two  manufacturers  in  the 
United  States  doing  business  in  the  same  city  as  regards  the  cost  of 


10  COST    OF    PRODUCTION    OF    CERTAIN    ARTICLES. 

substantially  the  same  articles,  would  seem  to  indicate  that  a  very  close 
approximation  to  accuracy  was  uot  obtained.  The  two  figures  taken 
together,  however,  may  represent  the  general  range  of  costs.  For  the 
S-incli  plate,  units  Nos.  381  and  382,  this  cost  for  1  dozen  plates  in  the 
United  States  is  given  as  $0.3801  and  $0.4057,  of  which  the  labor  cost 
in  transforming  the  materials  was  $0.1233  and  $0.2208.  The  returns 
for  1  dozen  similar  plates  in  Belgium  and  Great  Britain,  units  Nos. 
383  and  384,  were,  total  cost,  $0.0218  and  $0.3040;  labor  cost  in  trans- 
forming the  materials,  $0,205  and  $0,152.  The  extent  to  which  these 
figures  can  be  compared  with  those  for  the  United  States  is  subject  to 
the  limitations  suggested  by  the  observations  given  above. 

Woolen  (/ood.s. — There  is  probably  no  other  important  industry  in  which 
greater  difficulties  are  experienced  in  the  effort  to  secure  information  con- 
cerning the  cost  of  producing  particular  articles,  and  especially  of  secur- 
ing it  in  such  a  way  that  the  products  of  different  mills  can  be  compared. 
The  results  of  the  present  inquiry  are  given  in  units  Nos.  390  to  440, 
inclusive,  which  show  the  cost  of  production  of  various  kinds  and 
grades  of  blankets,  cloths,  and  yarns.  As  success  in  obtaining  infor- 
mation for  identical  articles  in  the  different  countries  was  not  attained, 
no  effort  is  here  made  to  place  particular  units  in  comparison.  The 
general  information  concerning  costs,  however,  is  of  value,  but  can  best 
be  obtained  by  consulting  the  detailed  statements  that  follow.  In 
interpreting  this  information  as  regards  the  United  States,  it  is  of  great 
importance  to  take  into  consideration  the  element  of  time  to  which  the 
figures  of  cost  refer.  The  variations  in  the  prices  of  raw  wool  and  the 
scale  of  wages  paid,  due  to  tariff  legislation  and  other  causes,  have 
necessarily  affected  materially  the  cost  of  production.  Thus  in  the  case 
of  units  Nos.  403,  40'),  and  421,  representing  the  cost  of  producing  the 
articles  mentioned  during  the  six.  months  ending  October  31,  1897,  at 
one  mill,  it  was  reported  by  the  official  giving  the  information  that 
subsequent  to  that  period  there  had  been  an  advance  of  10  per  cent  in 
the  cost  of  labor  and  30  per  cent  in  the  cost  of  wool.  In  the  same  way 
for  unit  No.  414  the  cost  per  yard  is  reported  for  November,  1897,  as 
$0.1088  for  labor  in  transforming  the  materials,  $0.58 L2  for  other  items, 
and  $0.75  as  the  total  cost.  The  advance  in  the  cost  of  labor  and 
materials  subsequent  to  November  increased  this  cost  on  March  3, 1898, 
to  the  following  figures:  Labor  in  transforming  the  materials,  $0.1857; 
other  items,  $0.7308;  total  cost,  $0.9225,  a  very  material  increase.  A 
similar  increase  was  also  reported  in  regard  to  unit  No.  424,  the  total 
cost  at  the  later  date  being  stated  as  $0,193,  as  against  but  $0.14  in 
November,  1897. 

While  the  other  items  in  the  detailed  statement  which  follows  can 
not  be  brought  into  very  close  comparison,  they  have  an  individual 
value  in  the  study  of  the  cost  of  production.  They  are,  therefore,  pre- 
sented for  what  they  are  worth.  The  difficulty  of  securing  exact 
descriptions  of  units,  or  so  exact  as  to  admit  of  comparison,  has  already 
been  pointed  out. 

In  submitting  this  report  I  take  pleasure  in  acknowledging  the 
valuable  services,  both  in  securing  original  data  and  in  formulating 
comparisons,  of  Messrs.  William  F.  Willoughby  and  Victor  H.  Olmsted, 
experts  in  the  Department  of  Labor. 

I  am,  very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

Carroll  D.  Wright, 

Commissioner.
